Boat-access cave dive with seals, current, and good visibility.
Adakule Cave is a boat-access cave dive in Kusadasi with two overhead passages, including a smaller cave that opens to an air pocket and a larger second chamber. It is a straightforward site for guided cave exploration rather than a deep or technical objective, with marine life tucked into the rockwork and the occasional seal in the larger cave. A calm-weather boat day makes the site more comfortable, especially because pleasure boats can be present nearby.
